Most frustrating game day ever!

Hey all,

I'm just wondering if anyone has noticed anything up with the matchmaking? I played around 10 games and out of those 10 games I have not escaped or managed to kill anyone. I'm trying to do the challenge where you need to get gold Devout or Unbroken. Needless to say I have made 0 progress on it and it is the last challenge I need to complete for the Anniversary event. I am contemplating just playing survivor and hiding the whole game, which I think is ######### game play. Any similar experience? Words of wisdom? Location of the servers so I can rip them from their racks?

    I just got out of a game where i was the only one tunneled. Literally after i died the killer played normally and didnt tunnel anyone else. I mean hard tunneled like he ran and only went for me off hook. Idk why people are ######### today.

    The last two nights I've played a total of eight survivor games and didn't even make it to the end. I've been trying to acquire masks as survivor because I enjoy playing survivor more, but for some reason the devs just love seeing to it that survivors have a far more difficult time earning event items than killers.

    Also speaking of emblems, those things need to be put to bed. Since they don't tie into your ranking in anyway shape or form anymore, they need to go. Just give a ranking based on how much you play. Seeing the devs shorten the amount of emblems required to earn event charms goes to show just how much of a pain in the ass earning emblems are, and as such they need to go away.

    You could have been his obsession and needed the points from your hooks.

    The handful of times I’ve escaped over the past 2 days it was always where I could tell either there was a either a very notable skill gap in looping or the killer was doing a challenge that required sub-optimal play. Every other match seemed like the killer had a secondary goal of ensuring all survivors made as little BPs as possible.

    Which is exactly why they can be so difficult to obtain. You could end up having a great match, but if you didn't do enough of the one thing the emblem is tied to, then your score will suffer as a result, which is just dumb. Like I said, I don't understand why they're still there.

    Matchmaking can be a total bust periodically.

    I've had days where my SoloQ escape rate was persistently under 10% and then I escape 70% of my matches for a few days.

    Killer is the same too, a period where I get the absolute craziest juicers with gen focused attitude and then I 12 hook with 4 gens remaining.

    I wouldn't look too deep into it. It's just SBMM things.

    If I run into one more T3 Meyers with 5 cakes I’m changing my personal objective to seeing how much match time I can waste exploring the artisanal lockers placed on each map. They wanted to get some quick kills, I wanted to be able to feel like I’m playing a game and not just an NPC placeholder to quickly kill - turns out you can’t always get what you want.
